These cars were local to me! I remember seeing them pop up on Marketplace. A buddy of mine lived across the street from them and tried to buy them for years. To make the story even more interesting, another Facebook friend of mine recognized these cars as ones he had owned in the 90s and he still had the titles to them.
I'm not a big Mopar fan but I do like the 1970 Super Bee.
I owned the Mr. Norms 1971 Charger R/T as seen on the Vintage Shade Tree Auto channel. I got very lucky when I found an almost pristine build sheet for that car. It's a 440, pistol grip 4 spd, Dana 3:54 car. The build sheet was tucked up under the carpet, on the driver's side of the trans tunnel. The trans tunnel is different between automatic and 4 spd cars, being the 4 spd tunnel has a higher and more vertical sides. That with the 4 spd console kept the build sheet "high and dry". I also purchased every piece of dealer documentation seen with the car in the video. I usually don't name cars but I did name that one, his name was Brutus. This is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam, keep up the awesome work Parker!
Great stuff! You remind me of myself. So much random knowledge about Mopars that 99% of people don't care about, lol. I love it. Everything from knowing that if it was an N96 car, it didn't have the holes on the side, to '70 Super Bee rear tail panel color differences (some had only black stripes, some had red and black), to the red stripe on some of the '70 Super Bee grilles. Some say "oh, if you had a 383, it didn't have this!" Truth is, it didn't matter, some got it, some didn't. Anyway, love this video!
I personally dig the 70 cornet/super bee. If done right they look tough…
I'm a chevy, ford guy ! I will confess molar was the fastest cars I've been in ! 😳👍
Absolutely love these cars. I owned a 69 basic coronet with a 318. Great memories from my teenage years. ❤❤
Lemme point out the one piece of equipment left under the hood. It’s this sweet sweet three speed wiper motor. 😂😂😂😂
Didn't know about the contest. Love the numbers!
I used to have a '71 Charger Superbee with 383 4 barrel with 4-speed tranny with pistol grip shifter. It also had a 3.54 positive trac rear-end. It had the raised vacuum actuated forced air hood scoop. It had 2 front bucket seats with console seat in the middle. Full bench seat in the back. No A/C car. Didn't have power brakes. It was yellow. Wish I still had it.
I ordered a 69 Super Bee with 383 Magnum, 4 spd, dark green exterior. It was insured as a Dodge Coronet unless you had a Hemi. I don't know what the top speed was, took it to 123, there was more but I didn't think any more was needed, and I might run out of gas.
🏆Very cool🏆my 69 Super Bee the same color ram Air hood 🍀383 4 speed 😎✌️
Very cool. I’m sure someone will want to restore these 👍🍻
I had a '68 Coronet 500 in '72. They came more blinged out than the Super Bee(Road Runner) and just as blinged as the R/T (GTX) with blackout front and rear and no post, luxury interior, bling around fender edges. In '69 the 500 got three tail lights, not so the 'Bee. My '68 had chrome accents around the side scallops that Super Bee didn't have. All this to say I would slot the 500 between the Super Bee and R/T where Sport Satellite would sit between Road Runner and GTX. 👀
Learning more and more every video. Looks like some Great parts on these beauties!
Another great video keep em coming
Look again. That second Bee just had the clock - no tach. They were NOT all tic-tock-tachs.
🏆Very cool🏆my 69 Super Bee had a 383 4-speed ram Air hood don't ever sell it 🍀it will haunt you for ever😎✌️
Liked it Sir.. 🎉 😊
Very cool cars. I remember my friend's way back. White, Bee stripe, 383, 4speed, some kind of deluxe interior, rusted to dust. lol A bit of a sleeper. Took out the local late 70's T/A one night on the main drag into town, no problem. And with transmission issues! Haha. I don't think he expected the rusty old girl to do much. See ya! lol.
Very informative channel. Enjoy your low key, straight forward, delivery too. No obnoxious, rock music or goofy, over the top, style. Thanks.👌
Always Learn Something From Your Videos, Yes These Cars Are Rough! But I've Seen Worse Being Restored On The Net! Lots Of Time , Knowledge, And Lots Of Money! Thanks For Your Report!
I was with my cousin when he bought a new yellow 69 Super Bee 440 6pak 4spd..🍷😎👌
I question the hood on the 3rd Bee. It should have had what was called a power bulge hood with fake louvers, not the regular Coronet hood which is what is on this barn find. I ordered a 23 car with a 383 Magnum, 4-speed, 3:23 gear, and sure grip new from the factory in September of 68. Got it in November, was stolen 10 months later and replaced with the B5 blue one featured here in my icon. It's a 4-speed post car with ram air, 3:55 gear, fake side louvers (yes, they are fake) and sure grip. We've been together now for 54 years. (AC was not recommended in Bees if one took the stock transmission [4-speed] with a 3:55 or bigger rear end gear.) The full instrument dash had 2 versions: with and without a tach, so you got either tick-tock or tick-tock-tach. I had a tick-tock in both and supplemented with a Sun Super 3-wire tach mounted on the steering column. (It still works.) My clock froze in time at 43 seconds to 6 back around 1973 and hasn't tick-tocked since.
Another rainy day in the northeast. The main reason I moved to Texas. Rust is king in Pa. Thanks for the walk around. Keep them coming.
I try to work with what we have up here lol Thanks Gary
I like the 70 , my favorite
The J26 option (3 - Speed wiper) could be ordered. I have it on my 69 Coronet 500.
Awsome video!
Tic toc tach they are called.Always loved that name.Some Camaros had them too.
i personally like the 1970 super bee grill
Very interesting story about the Super Bee emblem. I never knew that. Do you know if the design winner ever received anything for winning the contest? Great video Parker! 😊
I used to roll up past them with my stock 71 Cuda 340. 410 rear gears.
My bestfriend David had a 69 super bee ,it had a 383 4 speed and the side louveres behind the doors. That was a beautiful car and it could get down the road. Thanks for the infor. If the man upstairs ever let's me hit a lottery the first thing I'd buy was a 69 super Bee just like the one he had and surprise him with it
This is great, I own a 69 factory Red Black bee stripe black vinyl top 383 auto. Gauge pack with lol the fender scoops.
So the vin number will tell you everything? Or just the basics?
thanks great cornet are you going to buy it and fix it ,
Hi Carter,I am a new subscriber from canada,long time ago I did own a 1968 dodge coronet super bee with a 383 high performance, can you tell me the difference between a regular 383 cu in and the high performance 383.thank you .I really enjoy the explanation about those three cars,keep yhe good work from Richard in canada.
The first bee was it y2 yellow? That one is worth something! 4spd console side scoops white or yellow not a common color
A12 cool car
In my Top 5 for sure
There were four model years. 1968-1970 as you stated based on the Coronet. For 1971 the Charger became the base for the Super Bee. Otherwise a great video!!!
Dang, You are right Wayne! Totally forgot about them lol they didn't make many..
Thanks for this episode, Parker. It's always fun to look at other Super Bees. I found one in a barn a decade or so ago and have loved it ever since. Here's a link to mine being recovered from the barn. Enjoy!!! ua-cam.com/video/_0qtAI2EKgY/v-deo.html
Bet the owner is claiming one day he will restore them and not one is for sale.
Its ashame they probably were not that bad --then they sat outside in the northeast weather for years
All three - very cool ! My question would be : at what point do you decide they are too far gone to restore ? For a lot of people - restoring one of these vehicles is a labor of love
and not so much concerned with the amount of money spent. However, what is the top end amount to get these three back on the road ? ...or, do you scavenge parts from all
three to build one ? I think, that if someone is dedicated enough - almost anything can be restored. Graveyard Carz kind of helped me realize this. And salute to those that do it !
That flat hood on the gold Bee came from another car. The standard hood on the Superbee is the bulge hood. 1969, The optional was a twin scoop ramcharger hood. 69 1/2 Sixpack bees got lift off fiberglass hoods only. All 68-69 Bees were 383 big blocks except for the A12 sixpack cars and the Hemi. 440 4bbl was first available in 1970. In 1971 the 340 became available during the last year of production.
Yes, the original hood was gone due to a carb fire 🔥
3=1 car
I’m pretty sure it’s a felony in America to let three super bees rot in your yard.
It's to bad they were left outside inn the elements to rot very few good parts left.
Not for sale. Owner is "going to fix it up someday".
Was car's could be save.
It would cost at least 10 grand to see what you have. Those cars aren't worth restoring. I rebuilt a 10 grand car that's worth 20 now. But it was clean all the way around.
A couple maybe and a shit ton of parts and a very large budget
